newtons second law
Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Mathematically, the law can be expressed as follows:
F = m * a
Where "F" represents the net force applied to an object, "m" represents its mass, and "a" represents the resulting acceleration. This means that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration will be, and the greater the mass of the object, the smaller its acceleration will be for a given force.
Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
Mathematically, this law can be expressed as:
F = m * a
where:
- F is the net force acting on the object.
- m is the mass of the object.
- a is the acceleration produced by the net force.
In other words, the force applied to an object will cause it to accelerate, and the amount of acceleration depends on the force applied and the mass of the object. The acceleration and force are in the same direction.
This law is often summarized by the equation:
a = F / m
Here, you can calculate the acceleration of an object by dividing the net force acting on it by its mass.
